Antique Turned Wooden Yarn Spindles pickle gap crafts which I assumes stands forI find these old turned and colorfully dyed wooden spindles, used for hand spinning yarn, so lovely that I just couldn't pass them by, and thought they might still be useful for holding yarn, or as tools of some other sort, or just stuck in a vessel to admire!
